Do you have pets? We currently have four cats ranging in age from under a year to nearly 11 and my daughter is going to be sending her 10 year old Maine Coon to live with us for a while. When your daughter is a “geriatric” pregnancy with a toddler at home, you don’t question the ask. Anyway, here’s Lord Stanley of Cup hard at work🤫

No, not the ones in the cupboard you use for cereal! I’m talking about the trend of creating layered meals in a bowl. Have you ever thought, hmm, where do I even begin or how do I create a healthy meal bowl. Well we’ve got you covered. Join Chef @Andrew Brooks and I next week 21 Oct at 12 CT/1 ET for a fun cook along session. Session link in the calendar. Drop your questions for Chef in the comments.

If Only Family Life Came With a Remote Control… You’ve just discovered a magical remote that works on family life. Unfortunately, the batteries are almost dead, and you only get ONE button. Which do you choose? A. PAUSE: Freeze time during one of those perfect little moments you wish could last forever. B. REWIND: Relive a ridiculously funny family moment, complete with the laughter. C. MUTE: Silence the chaos for 10 glorious minutes. No questions, no arguments, no one calling your name. D. SHUFFLE: Turn an ordinary afternoon into a completely unexpected adventure. Nobody knows what’s coming! I’m torn between B and D. Although, depending on the day, C sounds pretty tempting. Which button are you pressing, and why? Bonus question: Which button would the kids in your life choose?

I'm always testing new tools for my job and thought, hmm, I wonder if Google's Playground could create a fun mini adventure while I work on creating our full story quest adventure. This is just a working prototype but if you have 10 minutes, I'd love for you to play and let me know what you liked, what you didn't like, and if it was any fun. https://playground.google/g/hIpcVM

It’s a rainy lazy day here in middle TN. No baking, no computer, just naps and curled up with a good book. But, I don’t want to abandon the community so let’s play a fun guessing game, this is one where you can play with the kids in your life, with adult friends, or in the community. Let’s see how many adventures happen. Don’t forget, don’t post and ghost! Comment on a few. To get us started, here are three fictional examples to give you an idea of how creative you can be. How good are you at spotting a tall tale? We’re kicking off a little game of childhood memories, family mischief, and stories that sound too ridiculous to be true. Here’s how to play: I’ll share three stories. Two are true (at least in our imaginary example), and one is completely made up. Can you spot the tall tale? Round 1: Childhood Mischief A. My brother and I once held a funeral for a broken toaster, complete with a shoebox coffin and a very emotional speech. B. I convinced my younger sister that if she planted jellybeans in the garden, a candy tree would grow. She watered them for two weeks. C. My grandma taught our cat to ring the doorbell whenever she wanted a cookie. Unfortunately, she figured out how to ring it at 3 a.m. Your turn! Which one is the tall tale: A, B, or C? Drop your guess in the comments and tell us why you picked it. Then share your own Two Truths and a Tall Tale. Let’s see who can fool the rest of us! P.S. These three stories are fictional examples. There isn’t a real answer to reveal, but I can’t wait to hear your real-life adventures!
